safety belt around his waist in the front uf this belt is a stout hook which he at | taches to a rung of the ladder while at work thus giving support to his body and permitting him to use both hands freely * * * he examimed the lashings of the last ladder and then signaled for au icr which was quickly sent up ro ! him it was a short one but like the ' others he secured it with six spikes and lashed nearly half its length to the twenty-second ladder it projected i above the collar a few feet and after securing it firmly phillips mounted it and passing behind it stood for a few â– iiiinutes on the broad ring of brick 1 work which encircles the chimney and . which is chipped off in two places by ' the lightning now came the begin ning of the climber's most difficult work hollow drills made of case hardened pipe with serrated ends were sent up to him and he began ditlling \ one-inch holes in the masonry in these holes he drove pieces of steam j pipe on the inner end of each of j these pipe-bolts was a tapering plug j and on t he outer end a nut through which a rod passed to the taper plug \ this rod terminated in a ring to which i the ladders were lashed after the | pipe-bolts were in place in the brick work a few turns of the nut expanded j the inner end of the pipe and made it secure in the masonry phillips put one of these holts in the wall of the engine room the other day and twelve men at a rope could not pull it out after the storm blew over phillips resumed work on his task the ladder which he was attaching did not lean outward much for he had concluded not to ivy the ascent of the j bell with a single ladder it ran nearly half way up the flaring brick work and stood slanting outward but nearly perpendicular he pronounced it secure and sent for the twenty-five foot ladder which was to be the last wooden one used last night he had this in phue and was suspended from it by his knees and waist belt while he was putting in the middle bolts !!-â– clinging like a caterpillar to a twig and putting on the lashing which se cured the ladder to the hist pair i i spikes the iron ladder with winch he is to surmount the iron cap stood against the wall of the engine room its sides are made of t iron and 1 1 inches wide aud the rungs are made of half-inch gas pipe it is six feet and eight inches pong it weighs forty pounds ami would lie flat against the cap but for two strips of wood which phillips will lash to tin under side of it in le.-s than seven minutes lie had reached the uppermost wooden ladder and after pausing tnere and examining his work of the previous day he secured his belt hook to a rung ot the ladder and sent down the free end of the lope " send ap the iron ladder he shouted and it was made fast and rapidly hoisted to his hands guiding it above his head he pushed it up the sloping cap and a moment later the hooked end fell over the inner edge of the chimney with a click which could be heard from the ground below phillips quickly climb ed over the top of the outwardly in clined wooden ladder and climbed up the iron one on reaching the top he waved one hand and a wild cheer arose from the assembled watchers while he was raising the iron ladder seven or eight devout old women stood egainst i\\e face of the mile-end mill adjoining and prayed loudly for his safety and that of his family some of them telling their beads with nervous lingers as they watched him as soon as phillips reached the top mr campbell clark and lames cun ningham the master mason entered one of the big lines and passed into the chimney looking up they saw phil lips head hanging over the circular opening and shouted to him he an swered in an ordinary tone and said thai he could see down the shaft for at leasl one hundred feet the accoustic properties of the shaft are so good that conversation between phillip and those at the foot of the shaft could be carried on in whispers phillips called for planks and one after another was sent to him until he had a firm but open platform then he fastened a tackle block to one of the stoutest planks and passed the rope down through it a stout legless chair va suspended from this tackle and taking several lan terns mr cunningham made the as cent with the slid of four stoat men he carefully inspected the brick work of the interior and pronounced ii with out a flaw

plot repurlicaxs stow scheming to con trol the next congress washington april 15 there is some kind of a deep plot brewing in the senate on the subject of a national election law its object is to grab the next congress and pave the way to the election of a republican successor to mr harrison john i davenport of historic fame arrived here on monday morning according to his usual se cretive custom he did not register at any of the hotels and he has not been prominently seen in public daces nevertheless he has been in close con sultation with senators hoar sherman and other bold and bad leaders of the republican party and lie has not yet left this city it is understood that he came here in response to an invitation and that the purpose of that was to obtain his advice and assistance in preparing a national election law all d;iy long the tiles of the law library of congress and the records in the various archieves have been drawn upon for precedents his presence here and the close con ference he has been holding with the republican leaders in the senate com mittee rooms betoken danger there are two opposing theories as to the course that the house is likely to pursue congressmen supposed to be in speaker reed's confidence state that it is his purpose to so rush busi ness that congress can adjourn by the middle of june he expects it is stated to make a record in this way in favor of the new rules for which lie is so largely responsible on the other hand members quite a's well informed as to the temper of the house state 'â€¢ that congress will be in session until the middle of september next the suggestion has already been made that the reason of such a long ! session would be to get the next ap portionment bill based on the next cen sus first passed so that congress could pass a bill retaining the present con gressional districts and allotting mem j bers at large to the states shown to be entitled to additional representation the disposition of speaker reed and his friends to hurry public business was plainly made apparent to-day when ; ' mr cannon from the committee on ! rules shortly before one o'clock re ported a bill to re-organize the whole judicial system of the united states to authorize the appointment of eighteen j additional circuit judges of the united states courts to confide to them many of the duties exercised by the united j states supreme court all these judges of course will be appointed by presi dent harrison by and with the consent | of the republican senate they will hold their offices like other circuit judges for life unless sooner removed by impeachment or retired by opera ation of law on reaching the limitation of age which entitles them to retire on full salary this is in effect an attempt to ger rymander the courts of the united ! states so that for many years to come the proposed circuit appeal court shall be composed almost entirely of repub licans mr camion and the commit tee on rules insisted that tins bill should be pushed through under tho operation of the previous question with only five minutes allowed to any man for debate mr carlisle and other democratic leaders naturally and veiy forcibly objected to such indefensible cutting oil of debate on one of the most im portant measures which has so many and far-reaching provisions which has been submitted to congress for many years but the bill was put through under the rules the speaker counting a quorum y 1 . star when farming pays mill bridge n c april 17 1s90 ed watchman â€” i am a subscriber to more than half a dozen agricultural papers some southern and see in nearly all of them something said about planting pease in cotton and corn my plan for many years has been this i plant with a corn planter 2 rows 3 feet apart and then leave 6 feet space ; then 2 rows as before on may 1st i take my corn planter and plant a row of what we call the whippoorwiil or speckled pease in the wide space by this plan i have my corn to over 4 feet apart and 1 have 1 ' row of pease to two rows of corn and think i make as much or more corn < per acre this way than the old ibr this reason i have a wide space for sun and air where it would not be otherwise i in addition to that i make from 200 to j 500 bushels of pease on my corn lauds < each year with jio extra labor except the use of my corn planter 1 mule aud < 1 hand 5 days with no cultivation save < that given it iu cultivating the corn i i generally get my corn run over with i cultivators and harrows two or three : times before sowing the pease and by that means 1 get the bed for the pease i in good condition sometimes i get as many as 100 ; bushels of pease gathered as they com mence ripening by august 1st when â€¢ there is no urgent work on the farm ; the balance of the pease are left for the i hogs and cattle to consume 1 think cotton could be planted iu the same with like results j m harrisojt a classic scrap we hear wonderful tales of feats performed i â– v modern lion tamers bnl none of them surpass in interest the famous storv of anilrocles and the lion which lias come down to us from acient times through the writings of a grave historian of rome androcles was a slave of a noble roman who governed africa for a crime which he committed his master condemned androcles to death but he escaped from imprisonment and fled into the numidian desert as be was wandering among the barren sands almost dead with heat and thirst he saw a cave in a rock and sat down upon a stone at the entrance of the cave to escape the tierce heat and to rest at length to ins great surprise a huge lion came walking toward him androcles gave himself up for lost but the lion instead of attacking him stopped before him laid his right paw on androcles lap and with a low moan of pain licked his hand androcles recovered a little from his fright aud looking at the lion's paw saw a large thorn in it this he im mediately pulled out and gently squeezed out the poisonous blood and matter around it which probably freed the lion from the great pain he was in for he again gently licked androcles 1 hand and then left him soon how ever the lion came bounding back and laid at androcles feet a freshly-killed fawn and for several days he brought food in the same manner hut the frightful solicitude of the desert and the fear that his savage com panion might at any time forget his act of kindness and turn upon him and devour him were more than an drocles could bear ; so lie resolved to return and give himself up to his mas ter and this he did now his master was at that time making a collection of very large and fierce lions to be sent to koine to fur nish a show for the roman people and when the collection was complete he ordered androcles to be sent to rome at the same time with the lions and that for his crime he should light one of the lions in the amphitheatre for the entertainment of the people th's was all carried into effect an drocles after being all alone in the desert now found himself in the arena before a multitude of people looking forward again to the dreadful fate of being torn to pieces by a lion at length a huge lion bounded out from the place where it had been kept hungry for the show with great leaps and roars of rage lie came to ward androcles who stood in the cen ter of the arena with a short sword in his hand but suddenly the lion stop ped looked wistfully at androcles and letting his tail droop crept quietly toward him and licked and caressed his feet androcles after a moment of great astonishment recognized his old numidian friend this sight was in tensely wonderful to the excited spec tator after hearing androcles 1 ex planation of it they begged the em peror to pardon him this the em peror did and also gave him the lion for his own androcles kept and treated as a gentle companion the faithful animal that ha i in return for a kind act sup plied him with food and saved his life dion cassias the great historian says that he himself saw androcles leading the lion through the streets of rome and the people gathering about them and saving this is the lion who was tlie man's host ; this is the man who was the lion's physician silver coinage decisions which were reached jit senate and house committees washington april 14 â€” the sen ate silver committee after a session of an hour and a half this afteruoon reached a conclusion three proporsi tions were agreed to : 1 that the secretary of the treas ury shall buy 4,500,000 ounces of sil ver bullion monthly and issue notes n payment for the same the notes to be redeemable in bullion or lawful money 2 that the national banks shall be allowed to issue notes to the full par value of the bonds deposited to secure their redemption which would add ten per cent to the volume of national bunk currency 3 that the hundred millions re tained iu the treasury for the redemp tion of freasurj notes be put into cir culation it was proposed in order to induce national bank to tike out th addi tional ten per cent of circulation to abolish the tax now levied on banks circulation but this was withdrawn fhe committee will meet

aspirant when his own persona agrandizeraent is to be considered bnt to the detriment of the public interests so that when no on y our district and state lint the entire south requires wise astute rep resentation at washington it seems to us akin to political suicidal folly ti take risks in making a change now in this district and in the interest of the people of north carolina ami of the smith we want to say that the demo cratic party af the 7th distriet will do wisely in retaining mr henderson as our representative as long as he is will ing to serve us in that capacity several gentlemeu are mentioned aa probable and actual aspirants for the nomination in this district who are doubtless all worthy democrats but we are glad that we are able to state fur their mutual information that thev need not waste their energies down iii this direction the democrats of montgomery know when they have a good thing and will be wise enough to do the rignt thing when the time eomes to cast their votes for the can didate of their choice in the county and district conventions thev want mr henderson in congress and will be very apt to do their part toward keeping him there the statesville landmark of last week after calling over the roll of congressional aspirants in this district to wit : mr fred ii stith of david son dr 1 k parker of randolph lion john s henderson of rowan and hon a leazer of

donbtless sincere in ren dering this opinion but to our person al knowledge mr stith is an avowed candidate and there are doubtless a number of other gentlemen fully us capable as either mr leazer or mr stith who would also be avowed can didates if they believed there was a shadow of chance for them to get the nomination what we want is fair play and when we say tnis we speak in behalf of the rank

eiley read and grow dizzy climbing the great smoke stack a brave heart l steady hani john phimips a young slater has solved the question of how to reach without a scaffold the tall chimney of the clark thread works at newark n j phillips contract d to extend a line of ladders to the top of the 335 foot chimney so as to permit masons t Â» ascend and repair the damage done by two lightning strokes which occurred during the storm on march 81st ' which tore off seventy-five cart loadsof bricks on the northeast side of the j chimney there are seven irregular breaks and masses of bulging brick work still hang in a threatening man ner two courses of bricks are thrown out from the face of the bell top on i he north west and on the south the collar i badly broken and a large rup ture shows on the side of the shall twenty-five feel below this hand # * * * twenty-two ladders were in place t lien and the top of the upper one | seemed to be within five or six feet of t!ie ring or collar under the flaring top above this ladder a stout spike was driven into the masonry and from it depended a tackle-block and rope after donning his overalls and work ing jacupt the climber pur a safety belt around his waist in the front uf this belt is a stout hook which he at | taches to a rung of the ladder while at work thus giving support to his body and permitting him to use both hands freely * * * he examimed the lashings of the last ladder and then signaled for au icr which was quickly sent up ro ! him it was a short one but like the ' others he secured it with six spikes and lashed nearly half its length to the twenty-second ladder it projected i above the collar a few feet and after securing it firmly phillips mounted it and passing behind it stood for a few â– iiiinutes on the broad ring of brick 1 work which encircles the chimney and . which is chipped off in two places by ' the lightning now came the begin ning of the climber's most difficult work hollow drills made of case hardened pipe with serrated ends were sent up to him and he began ditlling \ one-inch holes in the masonry in these holes he drove pieces of steam j pipe on the inner end of each of j these pipe-bolts was a tapering plug j and on t he outer end a nut through which a rod passed to the taper plug \ this rod terminated in a ring to which i the ladders were lashed after the | pipe-bolts were in place in the brick work a few turns of the nut expanded j the inner end of the pipe and made it secure in the masonry phillips put one of these holts in the wall of the engine room the other day and twelve men at a rope could not pull it out after the storm blew over phillips resumed work on his task the ladder which he was attaching did not lean outward much for he had concluded not to ivy the ascent of the j bell with a single ladder it ran nearly half way up the flaring brick work and stood slanting outward but nearly perpendicular he pronounced it secure and sent for the twenty-five foot ladder which was to be the last wooden one used last night he had this in phue and was suspended from it by his knees and waist belt while he was putting in the middle bolts !!-â– clinging like a caterpillar to a twig and putting on the lashing which se cured the ladder to the hist pair i i spikes the iron ladder with winch he is to surmount the iron cap stood against the wall of the engine room its sides are made of t iron and 1 1 inches wide aud the rungs are made of half-inch gas pipe it is six feet and eight inches pong it weighs forty pounds ami would lie flat against the cap but for two strips of wood which phillips will lash to tin under side of it in le.-s than seven minutes lie had reached the uppermost wooden ladder and after pausing tnere and examining his work of the previous day he secured his belt hook to a rung ot the ladder and sent down the free end of the lope " send ap the iron ladder he shouted and it was made fast and rapidly hoisted to his hands guiding it above his head he pushed it up the sloping cap and a moment later the hooked end fell over the inner edge of the chimney with a click which could be heard from the ground below phillips quickly climb ed over the top of the outwardly in clined wooden ladder and climbed up the iron one on reaching the top he waved one hand and a wild cheer arose from the assembled watchers while he was raising the iron ladder seven or eight devout old women stood egainst i\\e face of the mile-end mill adjoining and prayed loudly for his safety and that of his family some of them telling their beads with nervous lingers as they watched him as soon as phillips reached the top mr campbell clark and lames cun ningham the master mason entered one of the big lines and passed into the chimney looking up they saw phil lips head hanging over the circular opening and shouted to him he an swered in an ordinary tone and said thai he could see down the shaft for at leasl one hundred feet the accoustic properties of the shaft are so good that conversation between phillip and those at the foot of the shaft could be carried on in whispers phillips called for planks and one after another was sent to him until he had a firm but open platform then he fastened a tackle block to one of the stoutest planks and passed the rope down through it a stout legless chair va suspended from this tackle and taking several lan terns mr cunningham made the as cent with the slid of four stoat men he carefully inspected the brick work of the interior and pronounced ii with out a flaw

hock he has constructed a road from the old wai . lace house to the top of green hill which winds around with the easy even unswerving grade of 5 to 1u0 feet and is an easy crotting road going up or coming down it is the best road we ever traveled over in north carolina and is 2u feet wide and five i eighths of a mile long there is really over a mile and a half of new road . built there but part of it is just made for variety there are two roads going around a hill that juts out from the main hill and which meets about a third of the way to the top this road leads to the top of green hill j which i mie finest and most compre hensive mountain view that we know of unlike the view from any other mountain with which we are acquaint ed the green hill view takes within its ' scope all points of the compass and embraces the grand sweep of eastern â– â– and southern view from the pilot i mountain to king's mountain with out any doubt this view is uneqnaled on other mountains the eastern south ern western and northern views are all to be had from different stand : points from green hill they are all to be had from one point and one has ! only to turn aboul to take in the circle of the horizon the road which leads j to this enchanting spot cost nearly 500 and will be the drive at blowing ; rock the company is pushing right along spending money on its purchase laying off lots off
